Welcome to the community

There is a cookies parameter you can send through it

First try with postman and try to replicate

Here where iam stuck, i tried postman and send the value of the cookie in Bearer Token and worked. but when i tried it to http request activity i can’t figure out what’s the right format to use and where. i tried it in cookie parameters or adding a header but not worked and always give me same response (“{"error":{"message":"We are unable to serve your request","type":"permission_error"}}”)

I don’t know what u mean. but here is the cookie value i used in postman and works but can’t know where to use it in http request.

The image shows a browser cookie with a session key and attributes like domain, expiration date, HttpOnly, path, SameSite, and secure settings. (Captioned by AI)

give sessionKey as Name in cookie parameter and value as the rest highlighted and try

and in postman you have </> in the right where if you click you would get option to copy curl which can be imported in http request in UiPath
